Everyone is miserable. The kids really wanted to play at an Academic D3 but their ridiculous parents made them play Ivy just so they could type D1 on TS. The kids know what’s best for them and it really stinks how they are “owned” by a D1 program and have to seriously consider how to fit internships and study abroad into their experience. Shoulda gone NESCAC

Yale’s soccer coach resigned then got embroiled in that bribery scam. That program needs to regain its footing with their new coach.

Good news is that ivies have brought in new coaches at several programs over the past few years, and the league is as competitive as ever. Over the past couple of years, every program has had a fighting chance for an Ivy title deep into the year , except for Cornell. Many of the teams have reason to be optimistic going into this season, as the top program over the past few years may struggle to score.

For boys, the Ivies are absolutely not "locked up" for the 2021's. I thought the girls' timeline was going to start mirroring the boys', though perhaps the girls' timeline this year is a holdover from before the rule change.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post2022. But how can the rising junior 2021s be locked up at Ivies? The 2021s at our hs don’t even take the SATs until junior year. Especially after the admissions scandal at Yale, don’t the recruits have to wait to get past the admissions committee and get a likely letter (earliest is Oct.1 of senior year, for a likely letter, isn’t it? Sorry I guess I know even less than I thought about Ivies!

Like most things, the truth is usually in the middle. My experience with '21s
1. Players committed to Ivies before 4/30 as Sophomores with stated expectations they must maintain or meet (AP class, GPA, no arrests, etc)
2. Many rising juniors think they are all but committed. They were tracked all year, had ongoing conversations (quiet 5/1 - 6/15), banked "good enough" test scores and grades, and are just waiting to make final announcement/decision
3. Players are still being approached by some Ivies following the summer camp process.
Of course none of this above is real until admissions says it is, which is why I think Ivies are still adding to their pipeline. Some will inevitably fall short of stated expectations. Beware of the B-
